ALDER PAVILION GATHERING SPACE Spring 2020, 8 Weeks Kevin King Located in the the heart of Salt Lake Community College’s Taylorsville Campus, the Alder Amphitheater currently lacks any significant way finding and a gathering space. The Alder Pavilion seeks to highlight the amphitheater by providing a structure which would highlight the amphitheater’s location, and serve as a post-performance social gathering space.

Circulation: Compress + Expand

Alder Pavilion

Beginning in section, a contextual proportion study was an exercise to understand geometric relationships of the surrounding campus buildings.

A series of quick sketches, exploring the different issues of the amphitheater. Following that, a physical study model attempts to demonstrate the circulation operation of a compressed arrival and an expanded “open air lobby” which connects to the amphitheater.

Enclosure A series of digital section iteration begin to dial in the solution. First they study enclosure or not enclosure, in which a open connection to the amphitheater is preferred, as it would imply a relationship to the amphitheater instead of being separated from it.

MOUNTAIN AND CITY WATER RESEARCH CENTER Spring 2022, 12 Weeks Matt Daines

City

This is a Water Research Center that is an extension of the Hydrology Program at the University of Utah. It provides program for both public and private entities, and aims to orient the user towards larger questions of water use and sustainable settlement.

This project is about the larger contextual relationship between Salt Lake City and its mountains, and the immediate effect it enacts on sites located somewhere between the two forces. It attempts to analyze this broader force and then to synthesize it into a project. How might a form begin to mediate between contradicting contextual and regional relationships?

A FUSION FOR VERNAL’S FUTURE CULTURAL CENTER Fall 2023, 8 Weeks Dwight Yee In Collaboration w/ Gauthier M and Dante G We were interested in the programmatic potential of the synergistic overlap, where discrete elements are sybmiotically benefited. We are also interested in the idea of a cultural-exchange, where multiple cultures begin to overlap and interface.

program blocks

CULTURE

ENTERTAIN

Our proposal was to facilitate a cultural-exchange whereby a space would allow an exterior culture to setup in Vernal, so that these 2 cultures would begin to interact and symbiotically benefit. Through the sharing of food, art, dance, cultures would benefit from each another.

CULTURE

Through our site research, we noticed a severe lack of cultural and entertainment options in Vernal.

There was hardly any spaces available after workhours, and even less spaces that would enhance the pedestrian experience. The city also needed to temporally and spatially accommodate events, varying in size and duration.

MAIN ST

We chose to situate our building on the South West Corner of the Lamplighter block, primarily due to escape the noise of main street. We also wanted to connect to the Mid-Block East-West Circulation route, according to MHTN’s 2021 Vernal’s Masterplan.

Noise and Walkability were the most important factors. We wanted to create a noise barrier so that one could have a conversation while they strolled. We also wanted to provide a path and shade for a nice pedestrian experience.

SERPENT IN THE BODY SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS Spring 2023, 6 Weeks Matt Daines If a work of architecture is the referant of Plan, Section, Elevation and Mass compositions, then as a viable way of making new architecture, can we revisit those modes of representation as compositions?

Through processes of remixing, reconstituting, rearranging, and recomposing, in essence a kind of collage, can old parts become new wholes? Is it the copy that makes the original?

VIEW DIAGRAM Serpent in the Body 1-0"

In Brazilian folklore, there is a myth of the Church Serpent. Used to instill reverence in a congregation, It sleeps under the churches and if the people are noisy it awakes. Just its mere awakening is enough to destroy cities. What if architecture could be about seducing these kinds of serpents within people so that that drastically can effect their environments?

Can a nested interior have any relation to an exterior context? Or what is the exterior-effect of an indifferent interior? How might an exterior begin to ‘get inside’?
